Don't get me wrong, Jesus' message is "awesome", but what he had to state was nothing new that humanity didn't already understand at the time. And without Jesus, there is no Christianity. Which is what makes the Christian need to keep Jesus alive through faith a major problem for human progression.
I don't think having faith in Jesus and human progression need be mutually exclusive. It's the unfortunate truth that there is so much of the proverbial bath water still associated with faith in Jesus, and said bath water is, without any doubt, hindering human progression massively.
Not one person in human history has ever had any real faith in Jesus. It's just pretend. If you had faith in Jesus then you could easily do what he said a person with faith could do. So far not one person has ever done it.
